- 150 g butter.
Bring the oil, water and salt to a boil. Now pour all the flour in a thin stream and stir very quickly. After a minute, the dough will begin to lag behind the walls. Then remove it from heat and cool.
As in the previous case, enter one egg at a time. Do not forget to knead the mass thoroughly after each. Using a pastry syringe, form round profiteroles by placing them on a glassine baking sheet. If you do not have such a culinary device, use two teaspoons to make a sweet Christmas tree. They need to be periodically moistened in water so that the mass does not stick. Form round eclairs.
Do not forget to place the blanks at a distance from each other, as they will grow well when baking. Place them in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes at 200 degrees. Cool the finished cakes and you can fill them with cream. If you want to make a classic cream for Croquembush, then take:
- 5 eggs;
- 250 g butter;
- 130 g flour;
- 1 liter of milk;
- 1 cup granulated sugar.
Recipe:
- Remove the oil from the refrigerator first. In the kitchen, it will soon become soft. Add sugar and flour to 5 eggs, beat. Now pour hot milk, not boiling milk. Continue to beat the mixture. Then put in a water bath, bring until thick, stirring with a whisk. But you do not need to boil the cream, as the eggs can curdle.
- Place the cream on the balcony to cool or pour it into a larger container of cold water. Stir occasionally to avoid crusting on top. "Croquembush" will be ready soon, and such a New Year's craft in 2019 will surely surprise and delight guests and all those who have gathered to celebrate this holiday.
- Whisk the butter, now add the cooled cream little by little. Since you are making a classic Croquembush cream, add the juice of half a lemon and the grated zest of this one fruit. If you want to diversify the dish, then divide the cream in half, add only lemon with zest to one part, cocoa to the other.
- Now start the profiteroles with cooled cream, start collecting the cake so that the Christmas tree for the New Year 2019 is tall enough and unusually tasty.
- Cut a cone out of a large sheet of A1 paper and cover it with foil.
Melt 4 white chocolate bars using a water bath or microwave. Just do not bring the mass to a boil. Now put the most beautiful profiterole in the tip of the cone, dip the next one in the cream and place it next to this one.
Thus, form the rest of the rows. The latter must be made even, since this will be the bottom. Then the 2019 sweet tree will stand upright. Place this structure in a tall container, such as a vase or bucket. Take it to the balcony to harden the chocolate and make this tower more durable.
When this happens, carefully turn the tree over onto the dish, remove the foil and paper. Further - full scope for creativity.
Using melted white chocolate, attach sugar balls, nuts, and round candies to the cake. You can use coconut flakes if you wish.
The classic Croquembush cake also includes caramel. It is not difficult to make it. Take 50 g of sugar and pour two teaspoons of water into it. Boil this mass, stirring, so that when you lift it with a spoon, you get fine threads. Now take two forks, fasten them with their backs and tie them with a thread. Dip this fixture with the prongs into the caramel and apply to the cake. But this must be done 4 hours before serving, not later. Otherwise, the caramel may melt.
If you want the edible Christmas tree for the New Year 2019 to be not only for dessert, then make a filling for profiteroles of a different type.
The basis for it must be made in the same way as for the sweet Christmas tree. Only the filling will be different. You can make a cream in the following way.
Melt 40 g butter in a skillet. Then take 4 tbsp. l. flour, mix together with butter to get a homogeneous mass. It's time to pour out 10% cream in the amount of 300 ml and stir. Remove from heat, add a pinch of salt and black pepper, stir and cool.
While this is happening, whip in a cream that is at least 33% fat. You should get a stable foam. Take six sprigs of dill and 160 grams of smoked salmon. Add some lemon juice and grind this mass. Then pour the custard sauce here from the pan, stir. Then carefully add the whipped cream and stir gently with a large spoon. Roll a bag out of glassine and insert it with a tip into the neck of a three-liter jar.
Put the profiteroles stuffed with fish and butter into this bag. Combine them with the same cream. Remove this dish in a cold place to cool, then coat with the same cream, attach the outside of the sprigs of dill, which will imitate needles. Decorate the tree with bell pepper slices, cherry tomatoes, olives. Then it will turn into real.
If you need another edible tree, then take a look at the next one.
To make one, you will need to create a dough for shortbread cookies or gingerbread. Using a mold, using a template or by hand, draw stars of different sizes on the rolled dough. In each in the center you need to make a hole. Then place these pieces on a greased baking sheet. Bake them until tender. During this time, you will prepare a protein cream or mix powdered sugar with a little water, put this mass into a pastry syringe. Use this cream to decorate the stars.
